 | | In this embodiment the polydiacetylene is formed from polymerizing a three-dimensional or two-dimensional array of diacetylenes comprising a mixture of diacetylenes and of diacetylenes with the ligand or reactive substrate moieties attached covalently to the polymerizable diacetylene group. |
 | | Diacetylene and polydiacetylene liposomes may be attached to, supported on, or absorbed in, solids, including, but not limited to: polymers such as polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene and polyfluorocarbons such as Teflon®; silicon chips; beads; filters and membranes; glass; gold; silica; sephadex; sepharose; porous or swelling solids such as polyacrylates and polyacetonitrile; and sol-gels. |
 | | The diacetylene 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional structures are photopolymerized with UV light, or γ-radiation, to give organized polydiacetylenes with the longer conjugation lengths characterized by absorption maximum in the range of 500-800 nm, preferably in the range 600-750 nm, and a blue to purple color. |
